Sungrow Renewables launches Smart Module at 2026 Intelligence Technology Conference
The module adds five intelligent functions and won the world’s first high-efficiency smart module certification from TÜV SÜD.
On Monday, June 1, 2026, Sungrow Renewables held its 2026 Intelligent Technology Conference in Shanghai, unveiling the iBuilding BIPV 2.0 power plant solution and the world's first self-developed high-efficiency smart PV module.
Moving away from traditional models where manufacturers dictate designs, Sungrow Renewables introduced a 'power plants defining modules' paradigm, shifting industry competition from hardware specifications toward system intelligence and full lifecycle value creation.
Featuring five intelligent capabilities including self-diagnosis, self-RSD, self-cleaning, and self-cooling, the smart module delivers a power generation improvement of approximately 6%. International certification body TUV SUD awarded it the world's first L2 Proactive Safety Intelligence certification.
During the conference, Sungrow Renewables released a White Paper on Smart PV Module Technologies with the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Institute and TUV SUD, proposing an industry-first classification standard categorizing smart modules into four levels from L1 to L4.
Chairman Zhang Xucheng stated the company adheres to a 'user mindset' and 'systematic thinking' to "build better plants with modules that better understand plants, realising our core value of empowering customers." The company leverages a closed-loop ecosystem of continuous feedback to drive higher-quality growth throughout the renewable energy industry.
